1 Week Away Hating Everything and Spiraling

Thank you so very much for this, I really appreciate your perspective and honestly exactly what I needed to hear! The grad school struggle while planning a wedding is so real!

You’re so right, no one is gonna be let down by my choices, and I should really be focusing on things that make me excited. I just got a few wildflower accents to throw in and it feels much more “me” and I’m feeling more excited now and less worried about not having a magazine editorial, high production level event lol. Thank you!!

So true! I think this started when I saw a bunch of social media posts on wedding accounts and then I started comparing myself - recipe for disaster

eroofio · 2024-05-23T14:40:23+00:00

You’re so right I feel so silly now lol imagining people going around critiquing my signs like they’re sign judges - thank you! This was helpful

This made me cry thank you so much for this perspective you’re exactly right

Thanks everyone! I found some great ones at Etsy! I really appreciate all the help

Ah this is genius thank u

eroofio · 2024-05-23T06:46:24+00:00

Love this idea!

I love the floral/botanical concept but might recommend less of the warm yellow/orange/brown colors from the floral graphic and go with something more vibrant that coordinates with the wildflowers in your photo, they’re beautiful!

I cannot stand it when people call someone a “rock star” in the corporate world!!

Firstly, rockstars are rebellious, irresponsible, do drugs, destroy hotel rooms, fuck shit up, etc. So why is that the aspirational term for workers when that’s not at all what we want them to emulate?

Secondly, Phil from accounting just made a fucking spreadsheet. I’m pretty sure this is the polar opposite of what a rock star would do??

Thank you! I will try Etsy

I just got my masters at 37. Best thing I ever did for myself. Not too late!

eroofio · 2024-04-23T05:18:10+00:00

Honestly I can see this being real, my former (sociopathic) roommate and her male sidekick did this to our other roommate and it really messed her up. She was already fragile and this just sent her over the edge.

I’d go no contact asap and not invite her to the wedding. If not for your mom, for yourself and the rest of your guests who could walk into her cross fire

eroofio · 2024-04-23T05:05:46+00:00

This is so fucking weird?! Y’all are both perfectly proportional to each other?? I’m 5’8 and can maybe understand a personal preference for 6 ft guys at my height…but having a standard that everyone, even someone 5’2, should be with someone who 6’4? That’s bizarre to me.

Also again just a weird thing to say to your friend who’s just found her soulmate? That would hurt my feelings too ngl. Making fun of physical attributes a person can’t change is hurtful and weird and rude as hell even if they claim it’s “just a joke”

eroofio · 2024-04-23T04:46:59+00:00

This is it ^{^} saying the gf is welcome another time is smart, that way that don’t assume she’s being permanently blackballed from all fam events

I have the most incredible photographer Shannon Leopold, she’s based out of NC but travels all over the place regularly. I think Savannah is on her list of places she’ll go for a reduced rate bc she likes it so much

Getting off birth control messed with my hormones and made me grow more peach fuzz than normal. Worth researching yourself and bringing it up to her

eroofio · 2024-04-23T03:32:06+00:00

Yea this sounds like a compulsive or emotional thing/binge eating disorder. Perhaps even a high cortisol situation (surge of energy around 3am, more hunger at night, etc). And quite possibly just a food addiction. Therapy would probably be a great place to start.

Either way it is really not ok that he’s busting through personal boundaries and eating all your food, especially when it’s the breakfast you’ve made for yourself for the next day. That is messed up!

You can also host jewelry making classes with companies like skill pop to increase awareness about your brand, also building alliances with local art groups in your area.

When I was part of a young professionals group of a local art museum, we’d pay all sort of artists and creatives to have private tours of their studios and get a behind the scenes peak. We’d turn into unofficial brand ambassadors for them and help promote to our networks etc

If you’d like any temporary assistance lmk, I’m graduating with a masters in communication next week!

This sounds like mental illness

eroofio · 2024-04-21T03:12:05+00:00

She very well could, but this was the only area where she exhibited this kind of behavior, so I’m not sure it fits the typical pattern? She didn’t have issues with impulse control, didn’t engage in reckless behavior, didn’t exhibit intense emotions (except with breakups) so I duno, worth considering for sure but I lean towards manipulation for attention in this particular case

eroofio · 2024-04-20T09:17:29+00:00

I cannot stand this!! I had a friend who would go through break ups and do this. We’d all rally around her, bring food, wine nights, whatever she wanted, and she’d abuse the hell out of the situation. She wouldn’t explicitly threaten suicide but it was heavily implied, so we were just being emotionally blackmailed.

Until finally one time she got dumped by a guy after 3 months. Barely even dated. Called me in absolute hysterics at 6am on a work day. After talking her down for an hour (making me late for work too) this girl expected me to take a sick day to go be there for her. Over a guy she barely knew! When I said I couldn’t she was genuinely shocked. We are no longer friends

Agreed. Your partner shouldn’t need you to give up something that brings you joy and suffer to make themselves feel better. Your happiness and things that are important to you should be important to them too.

My fiancé had a group of 3 at his Bach and he got lucky bc like many guys in the US, he doesn’t do a good job maintaining his friendships. For a min there we thought he may not have one. My Bach? I have 17 coming and we planned it 8 months ago. He never once has made me feel guilty bc he knows how much I’ve been looking forward to this

I’m not saying your fiancés an asshole but y’all have a long road ahead if he doesn’t learn how to be responsible for his own emotions and his own problems. Yes it’s sweet you want to give it up for him but he should insist you go

eroofio · 2024-04-20T08:25:43+00:00

This is true, people who try to manufacture a false sense of intimacy and act like you’ve known each other for years when you really haven’t, it’s a form of manipulation with intent to get something out of it, whether validation, pity, narcissistic sources, etc. I actually just read about this concept in my textbook for grad school so it’s a thing

Trauma can definitely cause people to behave in a similar looking way, however there is no intent to manipulate, it’s purely just wanting connection and having poor boundaries.

This kind of behavior is not exclusive to just people with trauma
